Marinade

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Marinade

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

  2. 2

    Marinate the Chicken

    Place the chicken breasts in a large resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for best results.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 375°F (190°C). If using a charcoal grill, prepare the coals until they are hot and ashy.

  2. 4

    Grill the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. Place the chicken breasts on the grill. Grill for 6-7 minutes on one side, then flip and grill for an additional 6-7 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or lemon slices if desired.
